Bill is doing well. They moved him from the intensive care unit to a private room on Saturday afternoon. By Sunday afternoon when Mom and I visited him they had removed most of the tubes from his body. He has only the IV tube in his right arm left. He's able to get up and move around his room. While we were there, a nurse took him on a walk around the floor. Being Bill, he was determined to go all of the way around the floor -- and he almost made it. But he overdid it, got a little wobbly, and we had to find him a chair. He was tired for the rest of the time we were there.

He was off oxycontin for most of the day, but last night the pain was returning, and they gave him a dose to help him sleep. He doesn't like it, and he wants off as soon as possible.

All in all, he's doing very well -- considering what his body has been through. He has a laptop in his room, but he hasn't felt up to using it. But I suspect you'll see him back here with his own report before the week is through.

Thank you for your support. It means a lot to both of us.
